We complete the classification of symmetry constraints on gapped quadratic fermion hamiltonians proposed by Kitaev. The symmetry group is supposed compact and can include arbitrary unitary or antiunitary operators in the Fock space that conserve the algebra of quadratic observables. We analyze the multiplicity spaces of real irreducible representations of unitary symmetries in the Nambu space. The joint action of intertwining operators and antiunitary symmetries provides these spaces with the structure of Clifford module: we prove a one-to-one correspondence between the ten Altland–Zirnbauer symmetry classes of fermion systems and the ten Morita equivalence classes of real and complex Clifford algebras. The antiunitary operators, which occur in seven classes, are projectively represented in the Nambu space by unitary "chiral symmetries". The space of gapped symmetric hamiltonians is homotopically equivalent to the product of classifying spaces indexed by the dual object of the group of unitary symmetries.

AbstractWe construct new invariants of quadratic forms over commutative rings, using ideas from Topology. More precisely, we define a hermitian analog of the Bott class with target algebraic K-theory, based on the classification of Clifford modules. These invariants of quadratic forms go beyond the classical invariants defined via the Clifford algebra. An appendix by J.-P. Serre, of independent interest, describes the “square root” of the Bott class in the general framework of lambda rings.
